    Need some help with .zip archives

    I'd have to use .zip arcives, so I'll need to use the command zip. My question is:
    I have a folder ("base") containing a file ("something.txt") and some subfolders. I'd like to create an archive which would contain something.txt and one of the subfolder called "mysub" together with its content. Off course I don't want to have the relative directory structure above the starting folder "base". Is it possible to make it?
    If you need a CD/DVD catalogizer, give a try to my program:

    if you're in base and you want something.txt and the subfolders archived, it's:

    zip -r foo.zip *

    ...whereas if you want the archive to contain "base" itself, cd .. and type:

    zip -r foo.zip base
